"You once liked the blissful mobility, but then you wonder, who's the real you? And who's the chap on the screen? You know, I catch myself acting out my life like a goddamn script." "They've great respect for the dead in Hollywood, but none for the living." "I do what I like." "I like my whisky old and my women young." [last words] "I've had a hell of a lot of fun and I've enjoyed every minute of it." "I can't reconcile my gross habits with my net income." "I intend to live the first half of my life. I don't care about the rest." "The public has always expected me to be a playboy, and a decent chap never lets his public down." "It isn't what they say about you, it's what they whisper." If I have any genius it is a genius for living. "I felt like an impostor, taking all that money for reciting ten or twelve lines of nonsense a day." "Women won't let me stay single, and I won't let myself stay married." "I allow myself to be understood as a colorful fragment in a drab world." "I've had a hell of a lot of fun, and I've enjoyed every minute of it."
